As my first official post, I'd like to kick things off with a band I've been into for a while: Maximillian Colby (aka Max Colby for short).
Max Colby was a band who, unlike many in the genre of Emotive Hardcore, was more focused on atmosphere from the instruments, rather than relying on vocals (many of their songs had very small ammounts of vocals). They had a particular strong point in timing in their songs that was so spot-on it made them legendary (they would inspire bands such as Circle Takes The Square, Envy, and City of Caterpillar, among others). Saddly, their existence wasn't known about much out of their home state of Virginia, and after their bassist died they broke up.
Despite their demise, three of the four members formed a band called Sleepytime Trio (I have yet to get into their material), as well as a few other bands. They have a sixteen-song discography on Lovitt Records.
